I think I get now.

I add a BB size split shot between a wet fly or streamer, and a bobber/float. I put the shot onto the line, just a bit more than 1/2 way towards the fly (so it's a bit closer to the fly than to the float). It serves two purposes: it drops the wet fly or streamer down a bit; plus it keeps the line from wrapping around itself while casting.
I use this rig on Willamette Valley and Coastal Lakes all the time and with great success. I use Woolly Buggers and Leaches. Mostly Olive Green, Black, or Brown. This rig has caught a LOT of fish!
And, I've got a purple bugger, shot & float rigged up right now, for an outing tomorrow morning. It's a first attempt with purple. Will be using it on a canal and small lake/pond for trout and steelies, at o'dark thirty tomorrow!
Welcome to OFF, and thanks for the article.

I know someone who does this. He does fairly well with the idea. I would just rather stick to spinners though
If you have a tube or toon, I highly recommend the bubble/fly method that I described above. I have scored literally hundreds of trout w/ that technique. It is a BLAST!
One more thing. Think S-L-O-W.
Then slow down more.
